EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases Louis XIII, the young King of France, in all his regal splendor. Painted by Frans II Pourbus in 1616, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 72.4x62.2 cm and is currently housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Louis XIII, a member of the House of Bourbon, ascended to the throne in 1610 at just nine years old following the assassination of his father, Henry IV. During his reign from 1610 to 1643, he ruled over both France and Navarre (as Louis II) until 1620. In this painting, we see a young boy adorned with exquisite armor and an intricately detailed helmet that symbolizes his royal lineage and power. The fine embroidery on his clothing reflects wealth and luxury while showcasing the craftsmanship of the time. Louis XIII's lace collar adds a touch of elegance to his attire while emphasizing his status as a monarch. His sash further accentuates his authority as it drapes across him with grace. The artist skillfully captures Louis XIII's youthful innocence yet hints at the weighty responsibilities he would soon bear as king. This portrait serves not only as a visual representation but also as a historical record during an era when Louis' mother Marie de Medici acted as regent. Pourbus' attention to detail brings out every aspect of this young ruler's character - from slashing techniques used in fashioning garments to intricate blackwork patterns adorning
